Question

Suppose pdotosynthesis was an equilibrium reaction and that the reaction was represented by the following reaction: 6CO_2(g) + 6H_2O(l) C_6H_12O_6(s) + 6O_2(g)n Delta H degree = 2801 kj?mol Explain how the equilibrium would be affected by the following changes: (a) partial pressure of CO_2 is increased shifts to the left shifts to the right no change (b) O_2 is added to the mixture shifts to the left shifts to the right no change (c) C_6H_12O_6(sucrose) is removed from the mixture shifts to the right shifts to the left no change (d) water is added shifts to the right shifts to the left no change (e) a catalyst is added shifts to the right shifts to the left no change (f) temperature is increased shifts to the right shifts to the left no change (g) more starlight falls on the plants shifts to the left shifts to the right no change

Explanation / Answer

a.

incrasing CO2, shifts to right

b.

adding O2, shifts to left

c.

adding sucrose has no effect, since it is a solid

d.

if we add water, we shitf to right
